Fireflies are amazing insects that have the capability to produce light, using light emitting organs in their abdomen.  Adults often use flashes of light to attract a mate, while firefly larvae use flashes of light to confuse or discourage predators.  These fascinating beetles produce beautiful landscapes in warm weather after sunset, as they float around flashing soft green lights.  Not only are they fascinating to observe, but they are also extremely energy efficient.  The light produced by a firefly is emitted as 100% light, with no energy wasted as heat.  In contrast, a standard light-bulb emits 10% light and 90% heat.  Thus, the firefly is far more efficient at producing light than light sources humans create.
 
How did this firefly come to be able to do this?  Did a beetle at some point come to understand chemistry, and will itself to produce the enzymes and substances necessary to produce light?  Did some environmental factor somehow accidentally enable the firefly to produce a trait far more advanced than what humans can create, give itself the ability to control it, and then use this as communication with other fireflies?  Of course not, that’s the dumbest idea you’ve ever heard, although evolutionists have to believe it.  Fireflies were obviously designed, and that should be apparent to anyone without a strong atheistic bias.
